“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights…” James 1:17 (CSB)
At just the right time, a baby was born: God’s perfect gift to redeem the world. He saw our need. He cared for us. He wanted our joy. He loved us so much that He willingly gave His own Son so that we might become His children! It’s the costliest gift we’ll ever receive. Jesus is the Gift of all gifts.
All the things we enjoy in this life — family, friends, sunshine, the ocean, the cheerful chatter of birds in spring — are gifts from our loving Father. He provides what we need, delighting in our joy. He’s a Father who loves to give gifts to His children.
Our earthly gift-giving is a reflection of our Father’s perfect love for His children. We can delight in giving good gifts — while always pointing one another to Jesus, the Gift of all gifts, for this life and the one to come.
